I've ordered Thanksgiving and Christmas catering from here for the past two years, and everything has been fantastic. The stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry chutney, potatoes au gratin, and beef bourguignon are all delicious. I've also tried several of their desserts, including the pumpkin soufflé loaf and a variety of tarts, and they've all been excellent. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful too. So grateful to have a place like this that helps make the holidays a little less stressful. read more

Instead of one birthday cake, I was convinced it's always nice to have a slice of each of your favorites. My friends insisted this year to have everything that brings me joy. We all nibbled on different ones and each was more delicious than the other. The celebration continues. read more

Huge thank you to THE PANTRY for the perfect preparation of a special tray of polenta and portobella mushrooms !!! Our gathering totally enjoyed this addition to our special dinner ! Yet another reason to love THE PANTRY !! read more

This was the worst food I have ever had. Absolutely no flavor. Smashed sweet potatoes didn't even have salt and pepper. Crostini was a mushy piece of bread with some cream cheese and a dab of jam. I was embarrassed to serve this tasteless mess. You know the food is awful when no one wants any leftovers. Will never make this mistake again read more

Town staple and everything you need in one place. Best desserts in town especially the key lime pie and molasses cookies! Great deli and groceries available for your one stop shop. Always friendly service! read more

This feels like a well-known, maybe not so hidden local secret of a market in Fairfield. After failing to arrive in time for anything good to grab at another bakery, we pivoted to this well-reviewed place and got a chocolate mousse cake from their well-stocked display that turned out to be absolutely amazing. I will definitely come back again next time I need another scrumptious celebratory dessert! read more

Great deli! Try the Ham and Brie! Everything is good here. Only wish they had sugar free options in the bakery.

I ordered by phone Fruit tart Strawberry shortcake I went back to complain about it and they were no nice Only one worker from the back came and said I'm sorry for not doing it correctly! Was my second time and the last one . No I didn't ask for manager. To be exact August 20th 2023 read more

Nicely packaged food for our Easter dinner. Desserts were terrific, especially the coconut cream pie and chocolate mousse cake. Ham was wonderful. Not so great--the porchetta was a little bland, and the potato gratin was over baked to the point of burned bits around the edges. read more

Recently visited and got a few bakery items..had been under the impression one could order a sandwich/salad and eat here, but saw no seating. Close quarters, basically a market to buy and take away. Meat, produce, and all other item prices I saw were marked way beyond a fair market price. More than double. Some off street parking but tight. 7/2021 visit saw many not wearing masks and seemed to be no socially distancing protocols or guidance. Got some bakery items which were all good, but all was super expensive. Prepared meals available and got a smoking chicken burrito which contained a chicken bone which caused a choking incidence...so not planning to return. read more

Great little market with lots of care and variety, from produce to specialty items to fresh flowers and plants. Love the staff, and the bakery is wonderful. My favorite place for a breakfast sandwich! (Croissants are baked fresh daily) Parking can sometimes be tricky (there's parks on the back side of the building as well). read more

The cakes and desserts are always a 10/10. So flavorful and fresh. My go to for birthdays and holidays!

Tried to call in for a cake on Friday morning but they were all booked for the weekend but found out that I can walk in and see what's available that day so that's what we did on Sunday at around 11am. At 11am,lhere were only two 8 inch cakes left with 2-3 smaller cakes. We got the chocolate mocha java torte. It's a chocolate layered cake with Java cream. The cake was moist and the cream light with a light coffee flavor. For my Asian taste bud, the cake is pretty sweet but it was still enjoyable. The staff was patient with my questions about what the other cake was (Oreo Soleil cake) but I wish their website has more photos and had more descriptions on what other cakes they offer. I will be back for other cakes and check out the rest of the store next time. read more

This is one of my favorite places. They have the best food! It's always so fresh and filling. Their bakery is phenomenal. One of my favorite things to get are their chocolate chip cookies! I always have to get some whenever I'm there... or sometimes even a box of them lol. I would be here every week if it wasn't out of the way from me. The only thing that sucks is the parking lot. It's very small and compact in there. I wish they were in a bigger space, but I guess that's part of what makes them special.. they're definitely a little hidden gem! read more

Noooo what a bummer, literally no cookies to buy at 3:00 on a Thursday and I ordered an iced mocha latte that is always amazing here and I got in my car and tasted it and I believe she forgot the mocha. That's GOT to be the issue because if this is mocha they've changed evening about their drink and it's undetectable. I can't even tell you how sad that made me. And there were so many coffee grains on the bottom that I'm sure the espresso machine was due for a major cleaning. Breaks my heart because I made a special trip from milford for a chocolate chip cookie and a mocha. read more

What a gem. The salad bar is just a magical place where perfect salads are created. Awesome prepared foods. I love the walk-in refrigerated section for veggies! The chicken cutlets are addictive and the desserts (especially key like pie) are out of this world read more

It's about time I write a review for this place. The cakes and pies are some of the best desserts i've ever had. The key lime pie is an amazing summer treat, and our family is now constantly buying cakes here for special occasions. The workers are always very friendly, and the setup of the bakery is very efficient. My birthday is in October and I hope they will still have the Pink Velvet Cake available by then! Would reccomend! read more

The chocolate raspberry cake is amazing and one of the best chocolate cake's I've ever had. You can tell they use fresh raspberries.

I've been shopping at the Pantry for years and I cannot say enough good things about the nice people that work here and the amazing prepared foods they have! I'm obsessed with their whopper cookies and their buffalo chicken dip! You've got to get here early to snag some! I also want to note how great of a job the Pantry has done during this Coronavirus crisis. They've done a fantastic job with curbside pickup and promoting safe social distancing by only allowing a few customers at a time. For this reason, I've felt so much safer shopping here than other big box stores. Parking here can be tough so I would suggest parking in the back lot as the front lot can get crowded and a bit hard to maneuver around. read more

Friends, three words for you: key lime pie. Deliciousness. Raves from anyone to whom we have brought some. Good coffee too. Nice selection of imports and healthier foods in the market. read more

The very best bakery in Fairfield County! You will also find great fresh produce, meats, prepared foods and deli. A must for locals and a great trip for visitors. read more

Key lime tartlet is to die for! Great options for salads and nice deli selection. Will definitely be coming back!

Location is right downtown Fairfield. Very convenient and it shows - with lots of people coming in and out the entire time I was there. Seems like one of those places that's good to buy a few things between grocery store trips. Their sandwiches are good but like the rest of the store, a little pricey. However, more importantly like has been mentioned before, they got my order wrong twice (First visit, just a condiment nbd. Second visit, I don't want to even get into it :/). Didn't notice until I opened it later that night. Overall, I'd give 3.5 stars. Above average, but nothing really stood out to me. read more

I hired the Pantry to cater the lunch after my daughter's bat mitzvah. I relied on them to tell me how much food I needed for 80 people. They undercounted by a lot and about 10 percent of our guests didn't get a bagel and ended up going out and spending their own money for lunch after. I was mortified. This shouldn't have happened, especially as 7 of my guests were toddlers who don't eat much at all! When I explained what happened, they were unconcerned and certainly didn't offer to make it up to me in any way. I'm giving them two stars because what I did manage to eat (salad, fruit, and a cookie) was tasty. Update: The Pantry did send me a gift card to make up for the issue. I am grateful for their quick response. read more

The pantry is one of my favorite places in Fairfield. They are half grocery store half coffee shop bakery half sandwich deli and half salad bar. And I know you are thinking there can't be 4 halves, but each part just feels like a whole. Everything you could possible need they have here. All of my favorite brands. All of the employees make you feel welcome and if you are lost will help!! This places emulates the feeling of home. Highlights include the La Colombe beans at the coffee shop, endless items for a fire charcuterie board, and the friendly staff. Visit the pantry you will not regret it. read more

I visited for the first time last week. The layout is a bit confusing, and I waited in the wrong long before I was told I had to go to the deli to get an egg and cheese (makes sense - my bad). As I walked around waiting for my sandwich, I noticed that they had a good deal of specialty items like Stonewall Kitchen and crackers and cookies I once received in a fancy gift basket. However, what stood out was that all the shelves were dusty and needed a good cleaning. Check out was a bit slow despite only one person ahead of me in line and two cashiers. My egg, cheese and tomato for under $3.50, was decent and I decided to eat it there. Once I sat down, I noticed delivered bags of fresh bread on the ground just sitting there and wondering how long it would take someone to pick it up. This is a great place to visit when you are looking for a unique item you might otherwise only be able to get online. The prices are reasonable, but the store just needs a little TLC. Parking here is tricky and getting back out onto Post Road can be challenging, especially on Saturday morning. read more

This deli is pretty awesome, but let's walk through it. The bakery is up and down. First of all you have to come early because it is so popular that things go fast and if you come later in the day, you miss the best selection. The cookies are amazing. The pumpkin pie, not so amazing. The cheesecake is so-so. The coconut cake is AMAZING. The tarts are very good. The macroons is are good. The carrot cake is good. The eclairs incredible. There are so many bakery items, too many to list but you get the picture, it's up and down but the highs are very high. There is one important and consistent issue with the bakery. They consistently give me the wrong order. Just last week I said "two macaroons and four Chocolate chip cookies". I got two cookies and four macaroons. The very next day I asked for one slice of coconut cake, two chocolate chip cookies and one oatmeal raisin cookie. I got two oatmeal raisin cookies, one chocolate chip and two pieces of cake. Then today the same problem, different items. I mean, it's an on going issue with them. They are moving you through so fast and not paying attention. The prepared foods are great too, and the deli sandwiches are made to order and fabulous. Then you check out and they stuff stuff stuff your stuff in a bag so fast that your stuff is all cadywompus in the bag and messed up. Again, rushing you out. It's wrong to do this. My cake was all squished. Pantry: please slow down and pay attention!!! Lastly, just know that parking here is a huge problem. There isn't any. read more
